He said, “It’s an ongoing project, I’m taking pictures of every senior I can get.
‘I started photographing seniors when I realized how my own dog was slowly aging by my side.
‘It will stay with me for the rest of my life – beautiful and sad at the same time.
‘It becomes more difficult when the dogs get ‘tired’ and can no longer concentrate on me.
“Then sometimes I only have a handful of options that have to work on the first try.”
